ANALYSIS OF THE 1963 INTERREGIONAL COMMODITY TRADE ESTIMATES

The report contains an evaluation of the multiregional input-output (MRIO) commodity trade flows that were adjusted for consistency with the state input-output tables. The evaluation was made in terms of four statistical measures: mean-percent deviation, signed ratio, gross trade-flow adjustment, and intraregional concentration of deviations. Because of time and cost considerations, most of the analysis was conducted for the aggregated (8 transported commodities) trade flows. Additional tests will be made later for the disaggregated (61 transported commodities) trade flows.
